The Eligible Plant List and Plant Price Schedule are used to: 1. Determine the eligibility of nursery plants for insurance. 2. Assist in estimating nursery plant inventory value. 3. Determine the cold protection requirements in accordance with section 10, Causes of Loss, of the Nursery Crop Insurance Provisions. 4. Assist in establishing Field market value A, Field market value B, and/or Field market value C for claim settlement in accordance with section 12, Settlement of Claim, of the Nursery Crop Insurance Provisions. The following provides important information regarding the use of the Eligible Plant List. CROP INSURANCE NOMENCLATURE FORMAT Consistent use of plant names is key to the administration of the nursery crop insurance program. The Eligible Plant List and Plant Price Schedule uses researched plant names taken from the DataScape Guide to Commercial Nomenclature and contains four forms of plant names defined as follows: Botanical Name The Latin, scientific, or legal form of a plant name. Parts of the name may be genus, specific epithet (species), subspecies, variety, and cultivar. Commercial Botanical Name The botanical form of a plant name (often including trademarked and/or registered cultivar names) used in commerce. Common Name The name by which a plant is known in everyday commerce. Invalid Botanical Name A Latin form of a plant name which is incorrectly used to identify a plant. Plants are sometimes sold commercially by a different name from the botanical name. In some cases, that name is one that taxonomists consider outdated or incorrect. In other cases, the name is one that is more often used in commercial trade. If such conditions are present, these invalid botanical names and commercial botanical names are listed with a "see" notation which points to the correct botanical name (e.g. Acer x freemanii 'Autumn Blaze' is followed by the statement, "See - Acer x freemanii 'Jeffersred" which is the correct botanical name). iii If the desired cultivar of a plant is not listed, the prices and other parameters for the "genus", "genus, species" or "genus, species, variety" will be used for inventory valuation. The incomplete name may not be used if the desired cultivar is listed. Examples are listed below, where XX is a cultivar name: Name not found Name to use Rhododendron 'XX' Rhododendron Acer rubrum 'XX' Acer rubrum Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'XX' Acer palmatum var. dissectum CROP TYPE AND OPTIONAL UNITS All plant material is classified in one of the crop types shown below. For administering the nursery crop insurance program, plants will carry a designation contained in this list. Code Description DT Deciduous Trees (Shade and Flower) BE Broadleaf Evergreen Trees CE Coniferous Evergreen Trees FN Fruit and Nut Trees DS Deciduous Shrubs BS Broadleaf Evergreen Shrubs CS Coniferous Evergreen Shrubs SF Small Fruits HP Herbaceous Perennials RO Roses GC Ground Cover and Vines AN Annuals FO Foliage STORAGE KEYS Some container plants require cold protection to retain insurance coverage against cold damage. The cold protection requirements are listed on the Eligible Plant List for each insurable container plant through the use of the storage key (SK) code. Storage key code specifications are detailed in Appendix B. HARDINESS ZONE DESIGNATIONS All counties are assigned a single hardiness zone (HZ) designation for insurance purposes. These assignments are listed in Appendix A and affect the insurability for both container and field grown plant material. iv CONTAINER INSURABLE HARDINESS ZONES Container plant insurability is limited to the hardiness zone (HZ) or range of hardiness zones specified. These zones are listed under "Req" (requiring cold protection) and "Not Req" (not requiring cold protection). Hardiness zone (HZ) insurability container example: Insurable HZ Req. Not Req. 2 - 6 7 - 8 The plant is not insurable in hardiness zones 1 and 9-11. FIELD GROWN MINIMUM HARDINESS ZONES The Eligible Plant List designates the minimum hardiness zone for each insurable field grown plant. Field grown plant material is not insurable below the minimum hardiness zone specified for each plant. Hardiness zone (HZ) insurability field grown example: Minimum Field HZ 5 The plant is not insurable in hardiness zones 1 through 4. It is insurable in zones 5 through 11. PLANT SIZE All eligible plants are considered either field grown or container material with sizes listed for each category (practice). Field grown plants are listed by plant size for height, width or caliper. Caliper is determined by measuring tree diameter 6 inches above the soil line up to a caliper of 4 inches. Plant sizes below the smallest listed in the Base Price Table are uninsurable. Plants in containers are listed by the container size with volume units of measure (e.g. quart, gallon). No plant sizes (height, width, or caliper) are listed for plant material in containers. Each cell of insurable multiple-cell nursery containers (cellpacks, jumbo packs, six packs, pony packs, etc.) will be valued as a separate plant. Container sizes below the smallest size listed in the Base Price Table are uninsurable. v Container size is measured by actual volume in gallons as specified in the Special Provisions. Use the worksheet shown in Appendix D to calculate container gallon size if the plant inventory container size is unknown. The worksheet includes formulas for both round and square (rectangular) containers. vi SOFTWARE AVAILABILITY The Eligible Plant List and Plant Price Schedule are available on compact disk (CD) for use on personal computers. The software is a Windows application available at no cost which allows: 1. Searching for a plant by botanical name, commercial botanical name, common name, or key word. The multiple search function is designed to assist those who may not be familiar with scientific plant nomenclature. 2. Compiling a plant inventory list for estimating nursery plant inventory value. The program allows the plant inventory list to be printed as shown in the following example. It should be noted that the CD containing the application program is intended only to provide convenient access to eligible plant information and help estimate the nursery plant inventory value. The CD is not required for processing insurance coverage.
